The Past - Ray Parker Jr.

I was wrong when I hurt you

But did you have to hurt me too

Did you think revenge will make it better?

I don’t care about the past

I just want our love to last

There’s a way to bring us back together

CHORUS:

I must forgive you (I must forgive you)

You must forgive me too (we must have to try)

If you wanna try to put things back the way they used to be

(honey let’s start again)

'Cause there’s no sense in going over and over

The same things as before

So let’s not bring the past back anymore

(no looking back, we can’t look back)

(honey let’s start again)

Out of all the good we had

You only keep track of the bad

Though you knew I never really loved her

Didn’t anyone tell you yet

That to forgive is to forget

How can you be mad if you don’t remember

CHORUS:

I must forgive you (I must forgive you)

You must forgive me too (we must have to try)

If you wanna try to put things back the way they used to be

(honey let’s start again)

'Cause there’s no sense in going over and over

The same things as before

So let’s not bring the past back anymore

(no looking back, we can’t look back)

(honey let’s start again)

I must forgive you

And you must forgive me too

It’s the only thing that’s left that we haven’t try to do One thing I’m sure will work

That we haven’t tried before

Let’s not bring the past back anymore

(no looking back, no looking back)

(honey let’s start again)
